Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are woven in to teach calmer responses to stress. Her background includes a master’s degree in social work from Howard University and nearly seven years in hospice care. That experience shaped her understanding of grief, life transitions, and caregiving stress.

It also informed her focus on finding meaning and inner strengths during hard times. She helps people dealing with grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, burnout from compassion fatigue, addictions, sleep problems, and life changes. She also supports concerns related to bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and career stress.

Parenting, family issues, body image, and end-of-life concerns are included in her practice. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Delishia uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace. That approach focuses on listening deeply and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client, which helps when people feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try different tools, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to pick techniques that fit their life and needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and real-time feedback, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varying comfort levels.
